CBC , and Paul Kennedy has the best narratives, lectures, etc. Quirks and quarks is good too, . " Ideas" with paul Kennedy aired these great lecture s. Thanks for the video.
I traveled extensively through Alaska native villages where, many years ago, missionaries forbade the people (school aged children) from speaking their native language. Needless to say, many cultural rituals were "un-Christian," and had to be eliminated. Undoubtedly many cultures around the world have been so impacted by western religious demands on indigenous people. It's where the decline of a culture starts, like I witnessed in Alaska, where norms were replaced with rampant alcoholism and high-suicide rates.
i dont know how us europeans and others who have lived luxurious lives can think about going to places like mars. we'd never survive. i'm pretty sure saharans can.

That's Wade Davis' goal. He says, "If you break your leg, you don't go to a shaman for help."
